Diego Valdés, the Chilean midfielder for Vélez Sarsfield, is once again sidelined due to injury. The club confirmed that Valdés sustained a calf tear, which is expected to keep him out of action for approximately three weeks.

This latest setback comes at a critical time for Vélez, as they are set to face Boca Juniors in a decisive Copa Argentina match. Valdés has proven instrumental for his team, contributing crucial goals that helped secure draws against both Boca Juniors and River Plate in the league. His absence will undoubtedly be felt in the high-stakes encounter.

The injury is a recurring issue for the 10-ranked player, who also missed three weeks earlier in February due to a similar muscle tear. The club will need to find solutions to compensate for his absence in both domestic and cup competitions, particularly as they navigate the crucial knockout stage of the Copa Argentina.
